Genre: Jazz
FCCs: none
Review: Trumpeter Eick's compositions have an overall darkness about them though their sophistication and accents, the punctuation of bass and percussion, makes for a highly listenable blend of emotions, without jolting fluctuations. The music on Ravensburg is deeply atmospheric.
